If you want to work on your English skills while you are in the United States in addition to taking a certificate program, you should do that before you take FPM, BUSIP and/or the Business English Internship Class (BEIC). Many of our students are very satisfied when they take this sequence of classes:

• General English
• IBEP (more English skills with business content)
• BUSIP or FPM (more business content with some English skills)
• BEIC (a practical experience in an American company)

Seattle is an exciting city to improve your communication skills for the workplace.

The Business English Internship Course (BEIC) gives you the opportunity to gain practical experience while you become more fluent in English. This happens in two parts during two quarters:

Quarter 1: You prepare for the internship while you are completing one of these certificate programs:

• Fundamentals of Project Management
• Business for International Professionals

Quarter 2: You work in an unpaid position for a local company and attend a weekly seminar.

When you successfully finish the internship course, you will receive a letter from the UW explaining what you did during your internship and a certificate of completion from the University of Washington International & English Language Programs. Internships do not lead to jobs or work visas in the United States.

BEIC is a great way to refine your business English skills, learn first-hand what work expectations are in the US, and meet Americans!

• Improve your business English
• Gain practical experience in a Seattle company
• Increase awareness of expectations in an American workplace
